Caught red sprinkle faced

This three-year-old was caught on camera fibbing to his mom about eating red sprinkles. How do we know he’s lying? The poor kid forgot to clean up his mess and the sprinkles were smothered all over his face and in his gums.

“He has an amazing imagination and loves to tell us stories,” his mom wrote on YouTube. “I saw this as a sweet moment, something that every child goes through…where they try to push the boundaries to see how far they can go.”

Lesson learned. This kid has got to learn panic moonwalking like Nick on New Girl. Instead of lying and making up a story, he could have just escaped the situation altogether Michael Jackson style:
